I know it's bit of a late answer; but you could also fix it with a try/catch block. Sometimes you might not have all the control over the content.

This way you keep the original code working for the new browsers, while the catch runs the innerHTML for IE8.

try {
    //new browsers
    $('#dvProudctInstruction').html(data.d[1]);
} catch (e) {
    //IE8
    $('#dvProudctInstruction').innerHTML = data.d[1];
}

Hope this helps someone!
